Wicked Leads 31st Screen Actors Guild Nominations

The nominations for the 31st Screen Actors Guild Awards were revealed, with the musical 'Wicked' leading the pack with five nominations, including best ensemble and individual nods for Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and Jonathan Bailey. This year's announcement was affected by wildfires in Los Angeles, prompting SAG to cancel the live event and issue the nominations via press release. The Bob Dylan biopic 'A Complete Unknown' followed closely with four nominations, while the TV series 'Shōgun' also garnered five nods. Notable snubs included Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman, who were omitted from the nominations list despite their acclaimed performances. The SAG Awards are seen as a significant predictor for the Oscars, with streaming set to occur on Netflix on February 23. This year also marks the inclusion of 20 first-time nominees, highlighting a diverse range of talent.
